The AT allowed the appeal, holding the impugned monetary penalty order violated principles of natural justice for failure to effect valid service on the appellant. The tribunal found prima facie evidence that a third party (the employer) operated bank and demat accounts and facilitated accommodation entries and manipulative trades, but concluded the appellant was not afforded an opportunity to be heard.
